The Dominion of Canada General Insurance Company (The Dominion) has announced that the Charlottetown and Cornwall curling clubs will host The Dominion Curling Club Championship, running from November 23-28, 2010. This will be the second year for the event, set to benefit Canadian club curlers and charities when it premiers this week in Toronto, Ontario.
Funded by The Dominion, The Dominion Curling Club Championship is an annual event for men’s and women’s curling teams who have won their local club championships. The premiere Championship – taking place from November 24-29, 2009, at St. George’s Golf and Country Club – provides the first ever opportunity for winning club teams from across all of Canada’s provinces and territories to represent their club at the zone, provincial or territory level, and ultimately to rank nationally. Details can be found online at thedominioncurls.ca.
The Charlottetown Curling Club is a five-sheet club situated directly in Prince Edward Island’s capital. The Cornwall Curling Club is a four-sheet club located in nearby Cornwall, PEI. Together they offer a variety of programs for curlers of all ages. Once again in 2010, The Dominion Curling Club Championship will direct any profit generated to charities, including the Canadian Paraplegic Association (CPA) and developmental curling initiatives in communities across Canada.
“As our premier event approaches” says Leigh Armstrong of The Dominion, “it’s exciting to look forward to 2010 and the opportunity to work with these two exceptional clubs.”
